A drink layering portion machine reliably creates undisturbed air bubble free multiple drink layers. The portion machine includes a flat bottom hollow structure, a top with a pouring cup that is shaped as a bowl having a hemispherical or semi-circular basin and having a central aperture at its bottom base. A thin rod, preferably textured, passes through the aperture with a small clearance. A second aperture displaced from the first aperture supports the thin rod providing wobble free movement. The bottom end of the thin rod carries a float, preferably textured. The drink layering portion machine is placed with a hollow structure encircling or hovering over a glass and stabilizing it from tilting. The float rests on the liquor in the interior of the glass as liquor is poured into the pouring cup. The liquor runs down at a slow volumetric rate through the small clearance, down the thin rod, over the float external surface into the glass forming layered undisturbed drink free from air bubble entrapment.

1. A drink layering potion machine, comprising: a. a hollow structure having at least one support leg, a top portion with a top rim and a flat bottom portion;b. said top portion having an integrally “built-in” pouring cup, said pouring cup having a top section with a pouring cup rim that abuts said
1. A drink layering potion machine, comprising: a. a hollow structure having at least one support leg, a top portion with a top rim and a flat bottom portion;b. said top portion having an integrally “built-in” pouring cup, said pouring cup having a top section with a pouring cup rim that abuts said top rim of said hollow structure so that said pouring cup is housed inside said hollow structure;c. a bottom tip at said base of said pouring cup having a first aperture to receive a thin rod;d. said thin rod fitting into said first aperture with a small clearance;e. said thin rod passing through a second aperture located substantially at said top section of said pouring cup and being spaced at a distance from said first aperture providing support for said thin rod and preventing its wobbly movement;f. said thin rod having a float at said distal end; andg. said flat bottom portion of said hollow structure comprising a platform adapted to rest on a structure and said glass being appointed to be placed on said platform;whereby a poured drink into said pouring cup is expelled at a small volumetric rate by gravity through said clearance between said first aperture and said thin rod and guided over said thin rod on to said external surface of said float to fill a glass stabilized by said hollow structure creating undisturbed layers of drink. 2. A drink layering potion machine as recited by claim 1, wherein said integral “built-in” pouring cup has a substantially bowl shape with a hemispherical or semi-circular basin. 3. A drink layering potion machine as recited by claim 1, wherein said float is substantially shaped as a cone, bell float or float ball. 4. A drink layering potion machine as recited by claim 1, wherein said float is hollow. 5. A drink layering potion machine as recited by claim 1, wherein said float is substantially shaped as a bell float that is hollow and has an open bottom. 6. A drink layering potion machine as recited by claim 1, wherein said float is integrally fixedly attached to said thin rod. 7. A drink layering potion machine as recited by claim 1, wherein said at least one support leg of said hollow structure consists essentially of a single leg. 8. A drink layering potion machine as recited by claim 1, wherein said at least one support leg of said hollow structure comprises two legs. 9. A drink layering potion machine as recited by claim 1, wherein said at least one support leg of said hollow structure comprises three legs. 10. A drink layering potion machine as recited by claim 1, wherein said at least one support leg of said hollow structure comprises four legs. 11. A drink layering potion machine as recited by claim 1, wherein said at least one support leg of said hollow structure comprises a single leg structure formed as a substantially cylindrical structure. 12. A drink layering potion machine as recited by claim 1, wherein said float has a friction, sanded, matte or textured surface. 13. A drink layering potion machine as recited by claim 1, wherein said thin rod has a friction, sanded, matte or textured surface. 14. A drink layering potion machine as recited by claim 1, wherein said thin rod has a diameter in said range of 1 mm to 5 mm. 15. A drink layering potion machine as recited by claim 1, wherein said first aperture is larger than said diameter of said thin rod with a diameter clearance of 0.1 mm to 1.5 mm. 16. A drink layering potion machine as recited by claim 1, wherein said second aperture is provided at a joint line between two pieces that are placed within said pouring cup. 17. A drink layering potion machine as recited by claim 1, wherein said second aperture is provided in an integral plate within said pouring cup. 18. A drink layering potion machine as recited by claim 1, wherein said second aperture is provided in a bridge support that is placed on-top of/within said pouring cup. 19. A drink layering potion machine as recited by claim 1, wherein said float has a dimension of 12.5 mm to 35 mm. 20. A drink layering potion machine as recited by claim 1, wherein said float floats over layers of poured drink. 21. A drink layering potion machine as recited by claim 1, wherein said float has an open bottom. 22. A drink layering potion machine as recited by claim 1, wherein said thin rod at its proximal end has a suspending top handle that is distal from said float. 23. A drink layering potion machine as recited by claim 22, wherein said suspending top handle is removable from said thin rod. 24. A drink layering potion machine as recited by claim 1, wherein said pouring cup has graduation markings indicting height of poured layer in said pouring cup. 25. A drink layering potion machine, comprising: a. a hollow structure having at least one support leg, a top portion with a top rim and a flat bottom portion;b. said top portion having a pouring cup, said pouring cup having a top section with a pouring cup rim that abuts said top rim of said hollow structure so that said pouring cup is housed inside said hollow structure;c. said pouring cup being removable from said hollow structure;d. a bottom tip at said base of said pouring cup having a first aperture to receive a thin rod;e. said thin rod fitting into said first aperture with a small clearance;f. said thin rod passing through a second aperture located substantially at said top section of said pouring cup and being spaced at a distance from said first aperture providing support for said thin rod and preventing its wobbly movement;g. said thin rod having a float at said distal end; andh. said flat bottom portion of said hollow structure comprising a platform adapted to rest on a structure and said glass being appointed to be placed on said platform;whereby a poured drink into said pouring cup is expelled at a small volumetric rate by gravity through said clearance between said first aperture and said thin rod and guided over said thin rod on to said external surface of said float to fill a glass stabilized by said hollow structure creating undisturbed layers of drink.
